Swiss multinational company Geberit has employed the help of Naver marketing as it enters markets in South Korea. 

Geberit, which specializes in sanitation, deployed multiple marketing tactics on Naver, South Korea’s reigning No. 1 search engine and website, to reach out to consumers in the peninsula-state. And also, to pump up their brand presence and awareness efforts.  

The company ran PowerContent Ads on Naver which, when clicked, direct users to their Naver Blog.  

What Are Naver PowerContent Ads? 

PowerContent Ads are one of the most popular paid-search strategies Naver offers. It is considered an ‘upgraded’ pay-per-click (PPC) tactic. Brands, like Geberit, using PowerContent Ads have the luxury to put rich media content such as photos and more space for texts.  

And this type of advertising format is rarely heard of in other famous search engine portals. So why does Naver provide brands this particular option? Well, because PowerContent Ads are primarily used to direct users to a Naver Blog page.  

What is Naver Blog?

A flagship product of Naver, Naver Blog was first introduced in 2003. Developers from Naver created Naver Blog to provide businesses an effective channel to connect directly with their target markets or audiences. The core asset of Naver Blog is that texts found on blogs use a conversational tone, encouraging the community to interact with them.  

In addition, brands have their own Naver Blog pages to improve their ranking on Naver’s Search Engine Results Page (SERP). As a result, they can gain more exposure and ultimately, outrank the rest of their competitors.
